Default Smoke Switch.

I was looking into installing a smoke switch on my 98 24 Valve. Can any one tell me what that intails. What wires do you need to tap into and how big of a deal it is to do?

dont do it, its a waste of time and can and probably will not only fry your edge box but it may take your ECM with it. been there done it, wont reccomend it. if you want smoke get bigger injectors or just take off and intercooler boot but dont switch it

X2. Spend the money on parts insted of spending it on fixxing your truck.

dont mean to be rude but smoke switches are for posers!!!! If you want smoke build it. I can black out entire intersections when i want but I can also back up the smoke. Trust me the smoke gets old.

X2 on what nbaca said....the smoke really does get old, and it just gives a reason to the EPA to limit what we can do to our trucks

honestly, i agree with these guys, if you want smoke, do it right with a good set of injectors and gauges.

if you want smoke than build power it will come with the teritory as an added bonus but just be able to back it up ( rv 275 & zxt+ is just about to much for the street)
